List of Strange weapon ranks

”

All Strange weapons have an associated weapon rank. This rank is based on the number of kills that have been made with the weapon against other players (excluding bots). All Strange weapons start with an initial prefix of Strange, however this is not a rank itself. Trading a Strange weapon will cause its kill counter to reset to zero and its prefix to reset to Strange.

Notes

• Disabling pop-up notifications under 'Advanced Options' will keep the strange rank notifications from appearing, beware however that the trade, duel, and item drop notifications will also no longer appear.
• Killing a teammate while friendly fire is enabled will increase your kill total with that weapon by one, as though it were a normal kill.
• Activating the Cloak of a Spy who is using the Dead Ringer will not increase your total kill count with that weapon.
• Killing bots will not increase your total kill count.
• Killing yourself with a Strange Boston Basher or Gloves of Running Urgently will not increase your total kill count with that weapon.
• Killing an enemy with a compression from the Strange Flamethrower or Backburner will not increase your kill count.

Bugs

• Strange weapons traded through Steam Trading will retain their kill counts instead of resetting back to zero.
